Need help waking up?

Jeff Saltzman's "Princess and the Pea Alarm Clock" will give you more help than you've ever wanted — it'll literally have you rolling right out of bed. The "pea" is actually an inflatable bag that rests under the mattress. Where you'd normally hear an ear-piercing alarm, here you'll feel your bed rising up under you until your weight makes the bed seesaw, forcing you off.No climbing back into — or onto, as the case is here — bed, either. Until the system deflates, you're looking at one wobbly mattress. You can check it all out in the video above. The alarm casing is built into a pea can, which is decidedly awesome.

Looks like it could be dangerous if you don't get out of bed immediately. I think the noise of the air tank inflating the pea would be enough to wake up anyone. I don't think we'll be seeing this hit the shelves anytime soon.
